How do I access the court "record"

[plainNamedDad44]

Hi Community...

Having prepared a draft order, verbatim from the Justice's endorsement to the related settlement conference, STBX's counsel is disputing the endorsement and is citing the "record".

Is this the court record ? How does a self rep access this please ? Also I thought that since during a settlement conference, matters are "without prejudice" and since briefs to not form part of the continuing record, that there would be no record of what was said by the Justice outside his endorsement. Can someone please clarify ?

As always... many thanks.

P.S. the four kids are doing very, very well and very happy.

verbatim from the Justice's endorsement

Serve together:
- draft Order for approval as to form and content
- Endorsement from the Order (yellow book in court file)
- consent form

Provided your draft Order is identical to the endorsement, you can file 10 days after serving and it is up to them to contest.

Otherwise, you could request a teleconference or appearance before the judge to provide clarity on their endorsement if necessary. Speak to your local FLIC about the process as this varies from courthouse to courthouse.

Thanks OL, STBX was served endorsement and draft order. STBX lawyer stated she will address matter by way of a 14b to the Justice that heard the motion. Is this them "contesting" it ? Will I receive a copy of the 14b ?

do you know which "court record" she is referring to ? How do I access ? I am certain they agreed to the item which they are now contesting and would like to verify myself please.

Thanks

If you want a copy of the court record, you have to request a transcript be made and shipped to you. It's a 3rd party service, and you have to contact a transcriptionist directly. Not cheap either, from the looks of it.

Assuming you're in Ontario:

I would think the other provinces operate in a similar manner.
